Ills feet wore bare, itis cap was torn; but the sun was waren, the sky was blue, and he was gay as the robin singing in the maple -tree ueruss the street. Peter was dig- ging with a stick in the bare, brown earth by the side of the little board walk that led to his front -yard gate. He was pretending to make a flower ted. Down the street came Miss Ray, Peter's teacher when school kept. It was the spring vacation now. "Good morning Peter !" she said. "What are you planting?" 'Ruses," said Peter, "and pan- sies. This stick is a rose -bush — red roses. These lituiies in a row arc pansies." "Why don't seeds?" "I haven't any them," said Peter. "You may come over this after- noon for an hour to clear up my yard, and I'I1 pay you ten cents," said Miss Ray. "Then you can buy a package of mixed flower seeds— 'Wild Garden Seeds,' they are sometimes called. I'll show you how to fix the ground and plant the seeds. You can't get roses and lilies that way, but you can get pan- sies and ever so many other kinds of flowers.,, Peter's whole fact smiled as he said, "Thankou, Miss Ray." Then le looked doubtfully at the stick he was digging with. "It won't make a very big hole," he said. "It doesn't take a big hole to plant seeds in," said Miss Ray, "but the ground has to be dug up first to make it loose and soft, so the tiny rootlets can push through it. I'll let you take my spade and rake; this afternoon, and we'll see what you can do." Every day after that Peter work- ed in his garden, and every day Miss Ray came to see how he was getting along. First•,he spaded up every bit of the garden so it was loose and soft as far down as his spade could reach. Next, he sprinkled on some plant -food which Miss Ray let hila pay for by work- ing for her. Then he raked his flower -bed until it was smooth and fine. Then, 0 joy! it was ready for the seeds. The seeds wore of all shapes and sizes. There were more than twee- ts different kinds. Miss Ray and Peter sorted them by their size, and ee arated those that had many of a kind. There were a great many kinds which neither Miss Ray nor any of the neighbors knew. Peter planted the big seeds far apart along by the fence; he plant- ed the middle-sized ones in rows or clusters through the middle of the bed ; the fine, tiny seeds he planted near the waik. For the big seeds he made a hole one or two inches deep, and dropped one seed hn each hole. The middle-sized ones .. put in little holes near togetner, from one-eighth to one quarter of an inch deep. The tiny ones he mixed with a handful of earth and sprinkled on the ground, then cov- ered them with a newspaper held down with stones until the sprouts appeared. Over the big seeds Peter pressed the ground with his foot, to maxe it firm on top, so the air could not pet in to dry the seeds. Over the tniddle•sized seeds he firmed the earth with a little board like a shingle. Over the tiny seeds he pat- ted the ground gently with his hands. One of the neighbors, seeing how hard ho was working, gave him a ,.mall watering -pot, and Miss Ray explained that he roust sprinkle the ground night and morning, enough o keep it damp, until the plants dere up, then water it every day ,bless it rained. When the flower plants sprout cd, weeds came up, too, and these Peter had to pull up without dis- turbing the flowers. Miss Ray showed him which were weeds hickweed, pigwecd, sorrel, dande- hon, plantain, clover and witch - grass. "These are the moat com- mon." she said, ''hut there are ethers that will shote they aro weeds as they grow. We can't bo Kure at first which are weeds where mixed seeds are planted." it was laud to have to pull up s..rne of the seedlings, too. but Miss Ray explained that the middle row must be thinned out to as much as throe iii -hes apart, to give each plant room to grow. All summer long the seedlings Frew and blo=s(nned. and when frost -tine drew near Miss Ray help- ed Peter dig np a dozen hidden lants, put them in pots, and carry them to the schoolroom, where then bloomed nearly all winter long. "I didn't suppoQe you could buy a whole flower -garden for tee tents." said Peter. "Yen can't," laughed Miss tiny, ''hut ten cents' worth of seed. a bit of land. and a boy who is willing to work, nil together, can make a arden that is fit for a king." - - Youth's Companion. 4.
